Hyde Park Body Boutique

Exercise keeps the body in peak condition, which explains the marbleized ThighMaster lying next to Michelangelo’s David. Enjoy an anatomical renaissance with today’s Groupon to Hyde Park Body Boutique. Choose from the following options:

Owner and instructor Candice Peters welcomes ladies of all fitness levels to hoist their physiques toward toning goals with TRX suspension training classes. During group sessions, TRX suspension cords hang taut from the ceiling to hold outstretched limbs and challenge bodies to heave their own weight with workout techniques coined by an ex-Navy SEAL. Guests perspire to maneuvers traditionally reserved for astronauts, such as midair pushups and pull-ups, and classes strive to target all muscle groups. An emphasis on reps, tempo, and form keeps heart rates whirring while firming up cores and enhancing balance, contributing to posture perfect enough that attendees can fill in for missing floorboards.

Hyde Park Body Boutique

While running a Stroller Strides exercise program for new moms, personal trainer Candice Peters found her calling. As she said during an interview with Cincy Chic, she wanted to recapture "the energy of women…[in] a non-intimidating and non-judgmental environment." To that end, she opened Hyde Park Body Boutique, where she ushers ladies of all ages and body types toward their fitness goals. She emphasizes no-frills functional fitness with TRX suspension gear and a distinct lack of fancy machines—the studio only stocks treadmills and elliptical machines that drop their "g"s and prefer bagels to crumpets.

Because of this stripped-down aesthetic, the studio leaves room for the sun to dapple the hardwood floors as Candice pilots weight-loss regimens, postnatal workouts, and sports-centric routines alike. During group classes, which include boot camp, TRX, and kettlebells, she continues to embody the accepting attitude that led to her studio's creation, encouraging students to set their own pace.
